Student Council Donations
We need your help! The SES StuCo representatives are creating a shoe tying challenge for the second grade students.
We are looking for donations of cardboard egg cartons and ribbon (enough for 68 students). Please send your donations to the main office. Thanks in advance for your help!
Sincerely,

NOTES FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE
Illness Policy:
Please keep your student home if they are not feeling well and are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
● Fever over 100.0 degrees
● Significant headache or stomach ache
● Diarrhea or vomiting within the past 24 hours
● Earache, runny nose, cough and/or sore throat (if these symptoms interfere with a student's participation at school).
A student may return to school after an illness once they have been fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication, symptoms are subsiding, and they will be able to have a productive day at school.
The district is following COVID-19 guidelines from the MDPH/DESE K-12 Guidance.
Monitor your family for COVID symptoms:
Fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, new loss of smell or taste, and diarrhea. Also, when in combination with other symptoms, fatigue, nausea or vomiting, headache, sore or scratchy throat and nasal congestion or runny nose.
If your student tests positive for Covid-19:
They must remain home for 5 full days, returning on the 6th day, as long as symptoms are improving and your child has been fever free for at least 24 hours without fever reducing medication for 24 hour
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you,
